[Triventular]

Its kinda hard to explain but I want to play some spotify sometimes when i stream. I wanted to know if it is possible to, lets say, play my games with spotify but I don't hear it and only my viewers will hear it? if so, how do i do it?

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question. But just beware playing music on stream as whatever platform you're using could take down the stream due to copyright. You're effectively broadcasting music.

You do this with virtual audio cable software. There are couple options, one of them paid. It requires that Spotify can use some other audio device than default.

 

You basically setup virtual audio device to which Spotify plays and isn't your default audio device. Then you setup streaming software to listen all other audio sources. I used to remove Teamspeak from stream audio with that. Takes a while to get it right.

I found this vid with an app that does it automatically haha for some reason I have a steam streaming device installed(dunno what that is) and i just "re-route" the audio there and add an output object in obs to pickup the audio and its running just as i expected
